Beautiful home. Exactly as described . Community pool nice - they didn’t explain well the second pool - which is outside the gated community. House sets on corner lot - tight driveway - property manager very quick and responsive - beautiful area

This property is so nice with everything one needs for a wonderful beach vacation. The beach is just a short walk or even shorter drive and the bikes were a big hit. It was great to be able to take a break from the sand and just enjoy the pool too.

Hi Terri,
Thank you for visiting our home away from home. The location is one of our favorite things about this home. Thank you for visiting and we hope to have you back again.
Could not have asked for a better place. Really close to the beach and plenty of room for everyone. Loved that they had bike you could use and that it was a gated community! Highly recommend!

Stayed with my family (8 total - 6 Adults, 2 kids) and had a blast. Location was absolutely perfect, the amenities were great, convenient to the Beach, Food, Shopping. Highly recommend Bruster’s Icecream. The house had comfy beds, showers, a piano that my girls loved, and books to read and relax.

Loved this home, nice quiet neighborhood with a beautiful community pool. Highly recommend cooking out by the pool. The screened in porch is amazing! Walking distance to the beach but you do have to drive if carrying beach coolers and umbrellas.

Great Family Vacation
This home and community was absolutely wonderful and perfect for our family.
We have three kiddos who enjoyed it, loved the screened in porch and the convienience to the pool and the beach. The Home is decorated beautifully with everything you would need and its very spacious, plenty of room for 5 adults and 3 children.
Each bedroom is a big space with its own bathroom and and TV.
We loved the customer service from the Property Managers. It was perfect.

AWESOME Retreat
This house had everything you could ask for! It was beautifully decorated and offered all the comforts of home! It was walking distance to the beach and the owners also supplied everything needed for the beach! The kids also enjoyed the pool and the playground! The only thing the house didn’t have was a golf cart, but we were able to rent one after a few phone calls! My extended family and I vacation together every year but this was by far the best trip ever! We didn’t want to leave so we will definitely be back!

Hi Ken, thank you so much for your review! We are so happy it was your best trip ever! We are here to help you make your next trip even better!
Our first time in Destin won't be the last. Two families (4 parents, 6 late teens/early 20s) celebrated our high schoolers' graduation in this lovely home. The "kids" said it was bougie which (I found out) is a high compliment. They enjoyed the bikes and proximity to the beach tremendously. Having a second fridge in the garage was a wonderful surprise as we cooked many meals in the well stocked, spacious kitchen. Highly recommend!

Glad you all had a great vacation for such an important occasion. Thank you for the review/feedback and kind words. May your next vacation not only be with us again but just as amazing as this most recent stay was for you 🌴🎓
Overall, we had a wonderful time with the family. House was incredible and enough room for all of us. Close to everything in Destin!!! Family created many memories this trip! HOA rules are a little over the top. It was difficult to get three vehicles in the driveway per HOA!! The listing stated Beach toys, chairs and bikes but most of the chairs were rusted and the toys overused. The bike tires were low on air and we had to buy a pump!
